I literally loved every single thing about this restaurant. The service, the drinks and the food were all on point. We had the nicest server (wish I could remember her name)! My mom, sister, brother in law and I went to Babalu on a Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m, which was definitely the perfect time to go. Not too crowded, but it was definitely buzzing. I just like the atmosphere in general. It was very laid back. I ordered table side guacamole as a starter and it was very tasty. It could have used a little more salt but overall it was pretty good. Server was attentive. Drinks came out fast. Food was hot. Food is very inexpensive. It was just overall one of the better dining experiences I've had, and the weather was gorgeous! We sat on couches in the patio area. I highly recommend this restaurant on a cooler summer day.
